This little girl came home from preschool today, so proud. Her little Easter egg is just so beautiful, and her daddy’s heart is happy. I had to share! #finleyjoy
These amazing @icreature cards came today! A collection of gig posters that date back to my college days, printed in 4.5x6 postcard size. So fun! #designmatters
Always and forever. #e28 #stannethetart
One month ago, this sweet little girl came into our lives. In the time since, she has changed everything. Our family. Our relationships. Our faith. Our prayers. We love her so much, and on her one month birthday we pause to celebrate her life. What a life and legacy it was and will continue to be! Every day has been different. Some hard, some sad, but many filled with joy and smiles. In the tumultuous back-and-forth of our emotions, I have been consistently reminded that God does not change. He never has, and he never will. His plans were laid out before the foundation of the world, and in his goodness he created us to be loved by himself. I was particularly struck by these verses in Lamentations (an entire book, by the way, written in grief and pain). As much as I see my children as my own, and as much as I wish to build them a beautiful life that I can hand off to them, the reality is that our losses show that all we really have is God. The LORD is our only inheritance, and HE IS ENOUGH. • I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:20-24‬ #braunfamilyof5 📷: @sarahrosewalk
 
Top Golfed with the best siblings around this morning. They have been some of our biggest supporters over the last 6 weeks. I love every single one of these people so stinking much.
“Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion Declared the grave has no claim on me” I believe with every fiber of my being that this is true. Because of Jesus’s death on a cross, three days in a tomb and his glorious resurrection death has no claim on us. We don’t experience three days in a tomb because he did it for us. Because of Jesus, Marlow went straight from my arms to His. She didn’t experience the sting of death. She went from life on earth to eternal living in Heaven. I feel the sting, the heartache that comes from death. But I know that that sting is temporary. It my seem like it’s never ending but compared to eternity, it’s just a fleeting moment. I have so much hope friends. Don’t get me wrong. There has been a lot of pain, a lot of questions stirred, doubts in the Lord’s plan, lies whispered by Satan, and so many tears cried. But have hope my friends because there has been even more rejoicing and celebration. Songs of his goodness fill our home. Scripture has come alive in new ways. There is sadness but there is so much more hope and peace than we can explain. The Lord is so gracious. When Marlow’s birth and death come around every year we can also celebrate the life and death of our Savior. The lord so graciously wrapped our hearts in a covering of protection. A covering of truth and love. He has placed are aching hearts in the center of His celebration. He is giving a reason to celebrate, a reason to hope and a reason to sing in a time that could turn us the other way. God is a such a good, good Father. He is and always will be greater than our past, our present and our future. #braunfamilyof5
My love for this girl is unmeasurable. #braunfamilyof5
My loves. The bond between these two melts me. #braunfamilyof5
